Rear spring broadcast code decoding

Been sorting through a few excess C4 parts in the garage, and am trying to find the spring rate for a rear spring with the NYR broadcast code. Any help is appreciated, along with any chart information to help figure out what loose springs I might be looking at at the next swap meet.

Thanks,
Mike

NYR = rear 39.9 rate.

It's posted elsewhere as well.

Thank you for the quick reply. It's greatly appreciated. Hib Halverson's chart is very helpful going from RPO code to spring rate, but I've not seen a chart that converts the broadcast code to the spring rate. Unless I find this "second" chart sometime, I may request your help again trying to decode other springs too. (I have a few loose front springs just sitting on the shelf.)

Thanks again,
Mike
